Happy Birthday, Sparks

If anyone is looking for what to get Sparks for his birthday, I dug up a letter (hand written! No spell check!) said Birthday Boy wrote me in 1994 regarding his music preferences:

"80% of the music that I listen to is alternative. Well, at least I used to think it was alternative until Mtv started calling bands like Pearl Jam and The Breeders alternative. Now I guess I have to say I like underground music. Some of my personal favorites are Ministry, Thrill Kill Kult, Coil, Skinny Puppy, Nine Inch Nails, Tear Garden, and The Legendary Pink Dots...In fact, the only thing I really hope you don't love is R&B. Please don't say that you have R Kelly's new one and everything Shai ever wrote."


Birthday wishes.
